Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for preparation of high molecular weight polyester material, such as pellets or coarse powder, by the solid state crystallization and polymeriza ⁇ tion or polycondensation of polyesters of lower molecular weight.
- the common commercial practice for producing high molecular weight polyester in the solid state involves thermal processing in an inert gas atmosphere or under vacuum at temper ⁇ atures below the material melting point.
- High crystallization and/or polymerization rates can be achieved at substantially elevated temperature, but in commercial practice, the reaction temperature is usually restricted by the relatively low sticking temperature of polyester particles.
- the tendency of the polyes ⁇ ter particles to agglomerate when the sticking temperature is reached requires special efforts and technical means to prevent the undesirable effects of such agglomeration and caking in the crystallization/polymerization apparatus during the critical sticky phase.
- the amorphous polyes ⁇ ter pellets are treated with water, saturated steam or organic solvents at temperatures up to 110 * C to effect at least partial crystallization of the granules.
- the granules are dried at a temperature of about 160" C to 170 * C while holding movement of the granules to a minimum.
- This invention provides an improved process for solid state crystallization and/or polymerization of polyester pellets by thermally processing polymeric materials in an agitated heating liquid medium at optimal temperatures slightly below the sticking temperature of the polyester.
- the process conditions are maintained by controlling the boiling liquid temperature either by the pressure in the crystallizer/reactor and/or by the chemical composition of the liquid medium.
- Pressurized or so-called “superheated” water can be used as a liquid medium in the process proposed.
- the boiling water temperature can easily be controlled by changing the static pressure in the crystallizer/reactor. For example, under an atmospheric pressure of 14.7 psi absolute, water boils at 212 * F. At 50 psi absolute, the boiling temperature is 281* F., and at 100 psi absolute, the boiling temperature is 328 * F.
- the crystallization and poly ⁇ merization of the polyester pellets can be carried out at temper ⁇ atures higher than their usual sticking temperatures and often extending up to within 10 * F. or less of their sticking tempera ⁇ ture. Since in the course of the thermal processing the optimal crystallization/polymerization temperature will vary usually over a wide range, the ability to control the process temperature by means of such a simple operation as the static pressure control in the crystallizer/reactor makes the method proposed very efficient in comparison with previous commercial operations.
- the process temperature can be controlled either by changing the static pressure in the crystallizer/reactor or by means of maintaining the proper water content in the aqueous heating liquid medium.
- pure 100% ethylene glycol boils at 388* F. at atmospheric pressure.
- Figure 1 is a side elevational view, partly cut away, of a material handling unit of a type suitable for use in the practice of the invention? and.
- Figure 2 is an end elevational view of the unit of Figure 1.
- FIG. 1 illustrate a material handling unit 10 of the type manufactured by Hosokawa Bepex Corporation under the trademark SOLIDAIRE*.
- This unit includes an agitator having paddles 12 mounted on rotor 14 supported within cylindrical housing 16.
- the housing includes inner wall 18 whereby steam or hot oil can be introduced at inlets 19 for circulation in the space 20 defined between the inner and outer walls. Condensation or oil may be removed through outlets 22.
- Polymer pellets are introduced through inlet 23 and the processed material exits through outlet 24.
- An additional inlet is introduced
- This liquid medium is mixed with the polymer pellets for controlling reac ⁇ tions within the unit 10 as will be discussed in greater detail.
- the liquid entering the unit through inlet 21 is first moved by means of pump 25 through heater 26 and pressure regula ⁇ tor 27.
- the heater 26 controls the temperature of the liquid and a pressure sensor 28 is located at a downstream position to control the pressure regulator to ensure maintenance of pressure in the unit 10 at a preselected level.
- Outlet 32 of the unit 10 is provided to recirculate water or other liquid through the system. Polymer granules are prevented from passing into the outlet by means of a perforated liquid intake separator.
- the line 34 from outlet 32 communicates with the feed line 36 which connects to pump 25 whereby the liquid from outlet 32 can be recirculated.
- Excess liquid drain regulator 43 is used in conjunction with outlet 32.
- Make-up liquid can also be added to line 36 for deliv ⁇ ery to pump 25 by means of regulator 39.
- This regulator is controlled by sensor 40 which detects the water (or solvent) content of the liquid medium in the unit 10.
- the system described is readily adaptable to the use of water for controlling the processing conditions of polymer pellets introduced to the unit through inlet 23.
- the water is heated to a desired temperature by means of heater 26 with the temperature being chosen depending on the ideal processing conditions for the particular polymer being processed. Since this temperature may well exceed the boiling point of water at atmospheric pressure, pressure sensor 28 is employed to ensure that the water is maintained at a pressure adequate to ensure that the water remains in the liquid state. The pressure is maintained since pump 25 will be constantly applying pressure and regulator 27 will be automatically adjusted depending on the output of sensor 28.
- polyester pellets are processed at 250" F. - 360" F. Water introduced, for instance, at 320 * F. will remain in the liquid state for admixture with the pellets as long as the pressure within unit 10 is maintained at 100 psi absolute or higher. Added heat supplied through the jacketed walls of the unit 10 will supplement this heat input to achieve the desired temperature level.
- the heating liquid medium may also comprise a solvent such as an aqueous ethylene glycol solution.
- polyester pellets are mixed with a 30% water, ethylene glycol solution introduced at 260" F. The unit pressure is maintained at 50 psi absolute to ensure that the solvent remains in the liquid state.
- Very heat sensitive polyester pellets containing a relatively high concentration of copolymers have lower sticking temperatures. These materials can be processed effectively in water or in a water miscible organic liquid medium under atmos ⁇ pheric pressure conditions. Where the sticking temperature exceeds 212" F, higher alcohols, for example hexanol with a boiling point of 315" F at atmospheric pressure can be used as the liquid medium.
- Processing with the unit 10 may be conducted in a batch mode wherein a fixed amount of pellets and liquid are introduced, and the unit entry and egress locations sealed during agitation. This form of operation is particularly suited to processing which is conducted over several hours to completion. Where the pro ⁇ cessing can be conducted during a reasonably short time period as the pellets are transported from one end of the unit 10 to the other, a continuous operation is contemplated.
- the speed of the rotor 14 should be maintained high enough to prevent agglomeration of sticky polymer granules and to provide a reasonable rate of heat transfer in the system. However, the top speed of the rotor can be much lower than used in processing wherein the crystallizer is "air-filled". By employing lower speed to avoid sticking, an undesirable genera ⁇ tion of fines and/or deformation of polymer pellets is also avoided.
- the method of this invention using an agitated heating liquid medium is quite advantageous due to high thermal efficien ⁇ cy achieved because of the very high heat transfer rates in the liquid-solid system.
- the method permits control of the process temperature at the highest optimal level (only slightly below the polyester sticking temperature) thereby providing a most economical process.
- the method of this invention provides continuous movement and steady agitation of the pellets in the liquid medium with a minimum effort. Liquid is an excellent lubricator, and the fines generation during thermal processing in a liquid medium as called for by this invention is therefore negligible.
- the method of this invention also provides greater flexibility as to reaction rates by the use of optimal reaction temperature kinetics. Thus, the temperature during processing can be controlled by a simple change of pressure and/or water content of the heating liquid medium by obtaining higher molecu ⁇ lar weight products than were possible in the prior art.
- the system is especially suited for microprocessor or computer control programmed to achieve maximum efficiency depend ⁇ ing on the particular characteristics of the polymer to be treated.
- the control unit employed may receive input from sensors 28 and 40 previously described.
- thermocou ⁇ ple 42 is connected to regulator 41 for heater 26 and this provides further input for a program designed for the system. Specifically, the temperature controller will "react" to tempera ⁇ ture changes which occur due to changes provided by the pressure regulator 27 and water/solvent content regulator 39.
- the water/solvent content sensor 40 may comprise, for example, the Continuous Moisture Analyzer Model BSP-901 with Radio Frequency Moisture Probe manufactured by Moisture Register Products Co. of LaVerne, California. Any one of many available flow rate regulators may be used for regulator 39.
